Timber Trace Golf Club sprawls across the rolling countryside that surrounds Lake Wallaby in lower Michigan. The location seems rather remote, giving the course an isolated feel, but the round is well worth the trip. The layout is routed through tall pines and the fairways effortlessly flow across the gently rolling hills. The wooded terrain is one of the course's major draws. Golfers from as far as the metro Detroit area come to enjoy this scenic round. The layout has an interesting mix of holes that offer plenty of variety. There are some tricky spots but you won't come across any carries over wetlands or ponds. Golfers will face long and challenging back-to-back par 5s starting with the 15th. This duo has the potential to ruin your score.

Great Course, Great Day

Outstanding course. It appearred they had had a lot of rain and had to rework a number of sand traps /bunkers. Many traps were in great condition a few were marked ground under repair and players were given free drop. Greens above average speed and in good shape. Fairways in good shape. Rough was not terribly penal. GpS on carts matched my range finder distance.

Soft faiways

I enjoyed this coarse. There are some challenging sand traps around some of the greens that will test all levels of golfers. The fairways are nice and soft. Some of the traps need more sand as this is a task still in progress that the coarse management is currently working on.

Play before the renovations are complete

This course is well priced and spreads golfers out enough (10 min) for a good pace of play. We were done in under 4 hours, the course expects a 4.5 hour pace.

Course was in great condition, although bunkers were under construction on several holes, including excavation on the hole 1 fairway. Greens and tee boxes were in fantastic condition considering a month ago the course got destroyed by hail.

Very open course, you don't have to be straight but it certainly helps. Placement on the greens is important, lots of different levels and the greens ran slow. There's a 5 minute cart ride to play holes 13-16. Can't remember water coming into play at all, but there's lots of slope around the greens if you miss them.

Nice gas carts with course GPS. If you buy a snack at the clubhouse, pass on the sandwiches, they're maybe 4 inches long. The course has new owners who are making improvements and with that comes an eventual raise in greens fees, so play the course before it becomes $55 for 18 holes.

Would absolutely play here more often if it was more convenient.

Grounds crew doing a great job

This course was hit hard by a hail storm just before Father’s Day and although the greens have some healing to do still the course played amazing! The grounds crew is doing an outstanding job of keeping the course in amazing shape while adding some new bunkers that are going to make this course even better. If you are between where to play this course will not disappoint.
